I can't stop laughing
quirk chungus
It's one of those things where it's SO silly it actually kinda works.
>>58406035yeah, it definitely grew on me. It does funny poses on idle
It feels like a goofy tie in to the idea Staryu is from outerspace. This feels like a cheesy 40s alien thing, it's perfect.
>>58406045Wow what an original opinion about a new pokemon that looks controversial
>>58405990>>58406035>>58406045>>58406056coping samefag
>>58406056it's fucking dogshitgayfreaks can't help themselves
>>58406072I think it looks neat.
>>58405990Starmie if he was a fortnite skin.
>>58406101good for you, slopgulper

>>58406035>>58406045I'm having a blast!
>>58406068>>58406072>>58406109Elaborate on your mentality. Explain why you feel the way you do about this without resorting to base kneejerk shit like insults.
>>58405990lovely game
>>58405990it's so bad it's good lmao
>>58405990>Majora's mask noises This thing is cursed
>>58405990I hate it
>>58405990Who want to bet Mega Starmie is based off of these aliens?
>>58406035Kill yourself goofyfag
>>58406072Counter argumentIt's funny

>>58405990Missed opportunity to give Starmie a half-thong again like Staryu
>>58405990so what's the purpose of you controlling your trainer againdo your pokemon stick so close to you that you have to physically be near the opponent for your pokemon to even attack? You don't even have your own life bar so is there any need to dodge attacks like that?
>>58405990I would like it more if it have like a psychic energy cape that flow while is running, so it will look like a crazy shooting star
>>58405990Nigga runs like Mr. Frog
>>58405990Beyond soulless
>>58405990do trainers take damage again?
>>58405990Not made by me, just repostan
>>58405990This shit reminds me of the fucking Waterwraith in Pikmin 2, so to me it's horrifying.
>>58405990https://youtu.be/bZ0acTd5LTw
>>58405990lmao
>>58409532They should have made it more like Starman if they wanted to do this as a reference. If anything it looks more like this piece of shit. But we all know the real reason is because they don't have to actually model anything, just stretch the fucking limbs out in blender and call it a day.
goofyGODS won again
>>58410305>do your pokemon stick so close to you that you have to physically be near the opponent for your pokemon to even attack?they'll close the distance automatically when you tell them to attack, but will follow you if you don't tell them to do anything, which can let your mon dodge attacks>You don't even have your own life bar so is there any need to dodge attacks like that?you do actually have health, but it's shown by the screen border effects, if you take too many hits in succession you black out
>>58405990I FUCKING LOVE THIS STUPID MOTHERFUCKER WITH ITS LONG STUPID MOTHERFUCKER LEGS. Before i played ZA i never could have guessed using Starmie on my team, any pokemon game for that matter.
I think a lot of the new megas designs are retarded but Starmie just hits that fine line where it's just retarded enough for me to enjoy it but not too much for me to hate it
>>58410788This is great
>>58410788FASTER
>>58405990Best one of the new batch
It's so heccin le silly it just WORKS(tm) it's so le funny chungus XD they made the legs longer XDXD so epic and full of le win XD please upvote and I'm trans btw and I love reddit
>>58407991it's such a fucking shame that we'll never get this level of personality in pokemon animations ever again
>>58414394You are right, they always mention they are trans even if it doesnt have sense
>>58405990
honestly? my only problem is that the legs split a bit too low. it looks like it's got its shorts pulled down halfway. i also wish the other three points of the front star were extended, i don't like that the mega threw off the radial symmetry
>>58414400Stadium was so peak they used the exact same animations for the next 4 games.
>>58406035>>58406045True. It JUST works. Upvote from me.
>>58405990Majora looking ass
>>58405990I'm glad they did this, a terrible Mega for the ugliest Pokemon design in the franchise.
>>58414012Won the shit taste competition
>>58405990>direction locks on in a single frame without smoothingThey learnt their lesson after the SwSh cutscene.
>>58405990I remember when I couldn’t stop laughing at Dialga but with a clarinet in its neck, when it first leaked And then it happened again with a Dudunsparce (admittedly)
>>58416682Can't roar anymore because he's fucking choking.
>>58405990look at him gooooooooo!
>>58405990>mega medicham and mawile got +40 to their attack stats to make up for the loss of huge power>mega starmie has an overall +140 boostIt's getting Huge Power, isn't it?
>>58414368
>>58407991FFFFFUUUUUUU
>>58405990XDDDDDDDDD IT'S SO STUPID IT JUST WORKS LOLSORANDOM!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA ITS ACTUALLY STARMAN AND ULTRAMAN! ITS GENIUS BECAUSE ITS BASED ON SOMETHING LAUGH HAHAHAHA LOOK AT HIM GO, THOSE LEGS GO ALL THE WAY UP XDDDDDDDDDDDD JUST LET PEOPLE ENJOY THINGS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>58406065"it grew on me" is indeed not an original opinion because it's normal human behaviour. calling the act of coming to like something you first found too strange "unoriginal" like you did here is as stupid as calling the enjoyment of music unoriginalpeople are gonna keep saying "it grew on me" forever because the alternative is being stuck on the first impression you get of something which isn't how humans should work
>>58416644no one thinks Starmie is the ugliest pokémn in the franchise it's simply too ridiculous an opinion
>>58405990Starmie was always my favorite pokémon and I was scared at the leak description but this is so good.it's not just its legs that extend, it gainst a little "waist" before the legs start so it makes sense walking. I love it.
>>58419229It would have been better if it used the second star as a propeller to fly.
>>58405990You really get the sense that they regret making the original megas too cool looking and this time around are following the ethos that pokemon designs always need to be kind of goofy. Sort of explains why they started treating megas as a mistake to be shoved away after X/Y. But basically all the new megas I've seen so far are this brand of intentionally silly so it seems like they imposed some hard rules on what megas are allowed to look like this time around. But anyway I was reliably told that the dumber a pokemon looks the more "truly pokemon" it is by the biggest blowhards on the internet so I have no room to argue against their overwhelming genius.
>>58419390>But basically all the new megas I've seen so farSo you've seen 3?
>>58419625The majority are goofy af as an intentional design choice anon...
>>58419390>they regret making the original megas too cool lookingALL megas old and new have goofy designs.First wave of megas had Alakazam, Manectric and Venusaur
>>58416682>>58416854your shitty meme becomes unfunny once you look at the 3d model
>>58408069not op, nothing about whats appealing about starmie is in this design, Starmie has no face or means of expression and yet it's one of the best designs of the first gen because of how cool ,majestic and pretty it is.theres no other mon that looks like it in gen 1. on top of that in early gens its praised for how useful it is because of its bolt beam coverage and wide movepool and great stats. all for minimal investment. in modern games the only pokemon i can think of with a similiar appeal to Starmie is Glimmora, another pokemon with very little means of exression that is still a great design because of how beautiful its shapes are.what does this ugly piece of shit have anything to do with Starmie. Would misty ever put this on her team, would u put a ugly meme face on Glimmora. Soulless garbage
I nean what else could they have honestly done?
>>58420794it literally looks the same just it can walk nowit might as well be Starmie piloting a mega
>>58420908what they do with the other 90% of megas. rule of cool it. this is not a very insired design philosophy but it doesn't matter most people dont give a fuck. What is Charizard y but a slightly more elaborate charizard. Hawlucha already looks amazing they didnt need to change much so they didnt and he looks great.make a slightly more pristine looking starmie like they did for chandelure maybe give it a new color and a floating shooting star cape.Some designs are so good they dont need a complete overhaul
R key not working in mega battle
>>58405990This is really starting to grow on me since it's based on a reference lol
>>58407991SOVL>>58405990soulless
>>58405990pure soul. I love this thing.
Would it have been better if it was the arms on the back that got longer instead of the front?
>>58405990it's idle pose reminded me of something
>>58422571Yes
>>58411012Kek, was wondering if I was the only one
>No you don't get it, they just need to rule of cool it, i.e. go for some extremely gauche 2010s tier design choices and make it look all badass rawr>btw I was 10 in 2013, how did you?Doing >new bad old good for stuff that's barely older than 10 years should get you sent to the meat grinder
>>58416682There are people that unironically dislike this form and I cant for the life of me understand why
>>58405990Wait that's how it's SUPPOSED to look? I thought this was supposed to be a model bugging out
>>58413922>Wow it looks just like my quirk chungus npc from my shitty mother 3 ripoff game
>>58405990I fucking love this mega
>>58406035"what if starmie had big legs" is objectively funny, but I'm losing faith that this game has anything to offer beyond that
>>58406012so wholesome
>>58405990zoom zoom!
>>58423580Its ugly
I just looked it up and Mega Starmie is apparently a +140 total BST boost instead of the standard +100 for other megasWhy?
>>58423557>Is that a spike anywhere, oh my god hoe edgy, crawling in my skiiiiiiinIrony has poisoned your brain and now you can't like anything if it's not a shitty meme. Sad
>>58405990Lol literally nanashi
>>58425013Its a monster that controls time.
>>58425027Mega Mawile and Medichan got the same buff to their megas, and the thing they have in common is Huge Power, so people are assuming thats what Mega Starmie's ability will be
>>58422571Yes. Especially if they put a weird eye/gem on the top one.
>>58425058That sounds crazy, Starmie was already decent compared to pre-Mega Mawile and Medicham
>>58425041
>>58405990When did pokemon became an RPG?
>>58423336kek>>58422571mm, no i think it works the way it is. but i do wish the back did something.>>58420794>Would misty ever put this on her team, would u put a ugly meme face on Glimmora.Probably not, and no because that's not any part of its DNA at all, where as tokosatsu starfish aliens IS a significant part of Starmies.ALL megas do one of two things. More of the same (usually while incorporating aspects of lower evos), or take one overlooked aspect of the line and exaggerate it until it feels like its the new primary theme.In starmies case, it's the latter.To do something similar to Glimmora, you'd make it ooze super adhesive out of all of its crannies because it can stick to walls. Or turn into a laser cannon that looks suspiciously familiar to the ultimate weapon (it does shoot lasers) or maybe becomes a top (mortal spin signature move)
>>58425058medicham doesn't have huge power it has pure power ("yoga power" in japanese)huge power only goes to things that fit the fortifying mochi/muscleman pun. rabbit like traits or gooey.starmie probably has yoga power. it has humanoid limbs to do all kinds of stretches with now, and is psychic.
>>58425051Its still ugly.
>>58423580I don't even like base Dialga.
>>58425255Enough about yourself
>>58405990HE'S COMING FOR YOU
>>58423580it looks like necrozma passed a kidney stone
>>58427976all that tasty food? I'd be running around too wanting to eat it all!
>>58409532that's not star man, this is.
It doesn't even turn, it just teleports
Mega Starmie is a successful design purely because it has personality and is memeable.
>>58405990It reminds me of that one phase in Majora's Mask's final boss fight
>>58405990it's not that funny
>>58430048Its the only design that actually feels like it was made with being funny in mind
>>58430474Exactly, I'm going to have one on my team just because it cracks me up. If it's good, even better. There's a lot to be said for pokemon designs that ooze personality, they're fairly rare.
>>58410788H-Hayai!
>>58423636this I fucking hate this shit so much
>>58418344>FASTERFASTER, FASTER!!
>>58430458I don't think it's funny at all...
>>58430545Oozing with personality despite having no facial traits whatsoever>Pokemon BW2 in Pokestar Studios had Huge Power for its human actors>Mega Starmie likely gains Huge Power in his megaits the little things too
